Well, now I came up with something that earns you money. In fact, your videos gonna earn you some bucks, to be clear. And yeah, I'm not kidding. A feature called Monetisation in YouTube lets you earn through your videos. But, to use this feature, you must have an Google Adsense account. So, what are you waiting for? Go shoot some videos. But before, learn about enabling Monetisation.
Enabling Monetization
1. Go to YouTube 'Settings'. There, to your left hand side you have 'Monetisation'.
2. Click On Monetisation, and you are given about the Account's Monetisation Status. If it is disabled, you are given an option to enable it.

3. Click On 'Enable My Account'. You can see the 'Terms and Conditions'. Check all the boxes and click next.4. After accepting Terms and Conditions, you are asked about the advertisements (there are three formats) that you would like to display while your videos playing.
5. Select the ads that you'd like to have and click 'Monetise'.
That's it. You're done. Here's the video tutorial.(In the Video, selecting of ad formats was not shown)
Activating Monetisation for Videos
You have an opportunity to choose the videos which you'd like to monetize i.e., use to display ads, and which you'd not to.
To activate monetisation, Select the video, Click on the 'Actions' on top and Click 'Monetise'. If the video is monetised, the dollar sign beside the video in the control panel turns white (as shown in the pic).

Youtube will not accept every video you uploaded. I will, very shortly, post about the videos that Youtube would accept.
